Yeah, my goal is just to get it to byte-compile and run; after that we
can work on reducing warnings.

Do you mean something like

(eval-when-compile
  (require 'calc-maint)
  (calc-compile))

in the alphabetically first file?  This would be quite a hack.  I
suppose it might work...

Otherwise, I don't see how we can integrate calc's existing build
system and the lisp/ build system, since the way the latter works is
to simply traverse each file and run `byte-compile' on it.
